In our ‘Remember When’ series we look back through the Coventry Telegraph archives for stories from Coventry City's past.

Here we recall the brilliant victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford when Michael Mifsud's double knocked the Red Devils out of the League Cup on September 27 2007.

Here's what happened

Coventry City enjoyed one of their greatest away days at Old Trafford in the third round of the Carling Cup.

Two goals from Michael Mifsud, famously nicknamed The Mosquito by an opponent, sent the Premier League side crashing out of the League Cup. The 11,000 Coventry supporters at Old Trafford were left in raptures as Mifsud turned home Michael Doyle's cross after 27 minutes.

The opener was no more than Ian Dowie's Sky Blues deserved after a positive start against a United side containing six full internationals plus a future World Cup winner (Spain's Gerard Pique) and they took their lead into the break.

The value of those stops were proved on the 70 minute as Mifsud doubled his tally. The forward collected possession on the left, Jay Tabb tried to pick up the pass but his overhit touch fell back into the path of Mifsud who raced and fired home.

The Maltese striker later had a chance of completing a memorable hat-trick but somehow managed to miss from close range. It mattered little as the Sky Blues secured a highly memorable result at Old Trafford on an unforgettable night.

Iain Dowie's reaction: "To come here and score twice against zero does my players a lot of credit. They showed great desire in every position. The keeper made one great save but we limited them to only a few chances really. It was a team that Fergie thought was good enough to beat us and to talk about who was not playing would do a disservice to my players."

Sir Alex Ferguson's reaction: "The performance was a shock to us all," Ferguson said. "These are players whose talents we have been trumpeting for a while but I was flabbergasted with the performance."
